AI Summary
Padre Dam Municipal Water District requests proposals from engineering firms for an alternatives analysis and feasibility study of the Alpine West Water Improvement Project, including pump stations and pipelines, to enhance water resiliency and operational efficiency. Proposals due by February 24, 2026.
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL FOR ESA WATER RESILIENCY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM ALPINE WEST WATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS AND FEASIBILITY STUDY (JN 225001) Padre Dam Municipal Water District (Padre Dam or District) is requesting proposals from qualified engineering firms to evaluate the feasibility of various site options for the Alpine West Water Improvement Project. The purpose of evaluating the Galloway Pump Station (Project RPS-2) and associated pipeline (Projects R-2A, R-2B, and R-2C) and the Alpine West Pump Station (Project RPS-3) and associated pipeline (Project R-3) identified in the District’s 2022 Master Plan Update, is to ascertain the scope of work required for the final design and construction, including but not limited to the following disciplines: environmental, civil, mechanical, structural, electrical, right-of-way, and construction costs. In addition, the work described in this Request for Proposal (RFP) will determine if additional pipeline work, beyond what is directly associated with the facilities, will be required to meet the demands of the proposed pump stations and if the locations identified in the 2022 Master Plan Update provide the greatest value options. With this in mind, proposers are also encouraged to identify viable alternatives, including alternative sites and other possible solutions. The goals of these projects include: providing resiliency in the Eastern Service Area (ESA) through redundant ways of conveying water from the Chocolate Summit Zone to the Alpine West Pressure Zone and then into the West Victoria Pressure Zone, operational flexibility and efficiency, and improved water quality. The selected firm will provide professional engineering services to develop and submit an alternatives analysis of potential sites for the projects and a feasibility study of the highest-ranking sites to determine which alternative is technically, financially, and operationally viable. The selected firm or team must have experience in providing all the required engineering services including, but not limited to, project administration, hydraulic modeling and analysis utilizing Innovyze InfoWater software, and water system design including various potable water storage tank types and configurations, pump station design, and environmental engineering services. Due to the priority of these projects, the selected firm should be prepared to begin work immediately upon award of contract. Interested firms shall submit their proposals no later than 3:00 pm on February 24, 2026. Padre Dam Municipal Water District Attn: Lewis Clapp Director of Engineering Email to: AdminSupportGroup@padre.org Proposals shall be submitted by email only to Padre Dam's Admin Support Group and include the following: Name of responder The word "PROPOSAL" Proposal Title: "ESA Water Resiliency Improvement Program Alpine West Water Improvement Project Alternatives Analysis and Feasibility Study (JN 225001)" Questions shall be directed in writing to: Tom Bloomer, P.E. at tbloomer@padre.org. All inquiries shall be received by 5 p.m. on February 9, 2026. Questions and responses will be posted to Padre Dam’s website. See Reponses to Questions No. 1 Below
